DI Women’s Rowing Athlete at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Varsity letters 2020 and 2021. Studying Economics and Agronomy. I was a gymnast growing up, before trying rowing on a whim when I was 16. I fell in love and quickly decided I wanted to row at the highest level possible! Rowing in college has been a long series of setbacks—from struggles with mental health, shutdowns due to COVID, a hip surgery, and health issues. But through the last 3 years I’ve never given up. Now heading into my senior season I’m faster than ever and ready to set big records for Wisconsin with my team! Outside of rowing, I am most passionate about my work in agricultural economics. Next year I will be working in commodities trading while continuing to train. I hope to someday have a farm of my own. My other passions include discovering my Norwegian heritage (especially practicing hardanger embroidery), cooking, boating, gardening, and spending time with my family and dog.
